Integrating digital immunity education into the national education system is «crucial», stated Rahma Bourqia, President of the Higher Council for Education, Training, and Scientific Research (CSEFRS), on Wednesday in Rabat.
«We are living in an era of profound digital transformation, where social networks are affecting the cognitive abilities of a generation that has not benefited from digital education», Bourqia noted at the opening of the Council's General Assembly. The session was dedicated to reviewing the draft report on «Pioneering Schools», prepared by the National Evaluation Authority under the CSEFRS.
Technological progress, she said, now poses a significant challenge for the education system, which is struggling to keep pace with rapid developments and their impact. «If the education system fails to catch up, we risk creating digital beings detached from reality and subjected to the influence of algorithms», Bourqia warned.
Addressing this challenge, she emphasized, requires more than just learning to use digital tools or integrating them into classroom instruction. It calls for educational reforms that accompany the ongoing cultural revolution and empower young people to engage critically with the digital world, using the analytical skills developed in school.
Bourqia stressed that achieving these goals involves adopting an approach that both consolidates existing gains and injects fresh momentum into current priorities. It also requires implementing new mechanisms to ensure the Council’s effective action.
She described the next phase as decisive in driving change, accelerating essential reforms, and designing innovative tools that can structurally address the system’s shortcomings and achieve lasting progress.
In this context, Bourqia highlighted the need for stronger coordination between all institutions involved in education, training, and scientific research to achieve the desired transformation and generate tangible improvements in the education system.
The General Assembly also featured a presentation of the results and conclusions of the evaluation of the «Pioneering Schools» initiative by the National Evaluation Authority, as well as the introduction of a project to establish a working group on continuing education.
